- The song in the background makes this entire video. I have now listened 4 times to figure out who this musical genius is? Can someone please tell me? I am hooked.

- Wowza! "Filled to the brim," yes. Love the lack of white (the objects DO pop) and love the fact that it makes me feel much less guilty about my slightly cluttered space. Fun vid!

- Terrific space! Being trained as an architect, and not liking the conventional, this is brilliant. Good tunes, too.

- bleh. an annoying, over-crowded and pompous apartment that fits its owner to a T.

- That was fun!

- Yes, the song is what makes this video...The apartment is quite interesting and somehow manages to draw you in even if this is not your usual style. While Ms. Gallop is a little over-the-top and cliched in performance (she tries to hard to prove herself), in the end she fits the video's vision very well. Hats off to the director.

- awsome woman, amazing apartment, stunning collection! Songit; do i sense envy in your words? because she doesn't seem to be acting about anything to me...did she pretend to collect 30 years of personal belongings just to prove herself??? after all, aren't we all what we live with in a way?

- I can hear myself saying, "turn on the light" over and over.
  
  Lars 10/12/2009
- i liked the apartment with the exception of the dead animals. that was awful.
  
  lee 10/19/2009
- All black apartment, with a bunch of stuffed, dead animals, ornate furniture and one's belongings... it's like staying in a crypt.
  
  gina 10/19/2009
- Those shoes were designed by Rem Koolhaas's nephew... not Rem Sr. Otherwise– I love her!
